MANAGE YOUR BRUINVIEW™ ACCOUNT
Update Your Profile
It’s good practice to review your Profile each
quarter to verify your information is up-to-date and accurate. Follow the online
prompts in the My Profile section of the My Bruinview™ desktop to edit
your personal data.
- Be sure your email and campus contact information is current. Don’t
miss receiving important communications from employers and the Career Center.
- Update all sections of My Profile, including your major, degree, work authorization,
Visa type, and graduation date. Inaccurate information may prevent you from
meeting an employer’s requirements.
- Honesty is the best policy. Providing false information on your Profile
will result in your ineligibility to use the BruinView system.
Set up Job Search Agents
The Job Search Agent is an optional automatic email notification feature
of BruinView™. It will make it easy to know when new positions are posted
that match your employment preferences. You may create up to 10 different Job
Search Agents that will function independently and simultaneously.
- Click on Job Search Agents link, located in the Manage My Job Search section
of the BruinView™ Desktop.
- Select criteria in each field. The default in each field is ALL. If you
do not indicate your preferences, you may receive a lot of irrelevant email
notices.
- Name your Job Search Agent and click "Create Agent" at the bottom
of the web page. The newly created agent will appear in a list at the top
of the Job Search Agents page.
- After you set up your Job Search Agents, you will receive an email with
a link to a small pop-up winder where you select UCLA and go to a login page.
Once logged in, you can view results for each of your Agents.
Tips for setting up your Job Search Agents
- Use various fields to enrich your search. For example, select several related
categories within the job function fields to maximize your results, yet screen
out unrelated positions.
- The use of a keyword will bring up all positions that contain that word
somewhere in the job or internship posting. It could be the name of the employer,
or the word could appear in the job description, qualifications, job function
or industry.
- If you are willing to work anywhere within the United States, you do not
need to select every single state. The default is United States. Select a
single state, or several, if you have specific preferences.
- Your Job Search Agent will give you results tied to your employment preference
criteria. If you did not specify a particular time period, your Job Search
Agent will give you all results each time. We recommend editing your Job Search
Agent regularly and to use the Jobs Posted After Date feature. If you change
the date range weekly, you will see only the newest results from your Job
Search Agent instead of having to sift through the results and try to figure
out what you haven't viewed previously.
How to Change or Delete Your Job Search Agents
- Click on Job Search Agents link, located in the Manage My Job Search section
of the BruinView™ Desktop.
- Click on "Edit" under the Action heading.
- To unselect a choice, hold down the control key and click your original
choice again or select another choice.
- When you're finished changing the agent, click on "update" at
the bottom of the page.
To delete an agent, click on "Delete Agent" at the bottom of the
page.
RESUMES & JOB SEARCH
DOCUMENTS
You may store up to 10 resumes, 10 cover letters, and 10 other job search documents,
such as your unofficial transcript or writing samples. You should create and

be able to view the titles of job search documents that you submit as part of
the campus interview application process. Always use appropriate titles when
you name your documents.

title; employers will be able to view this information.

versions of your resume.

your cover letters and other documents, including writing samples and your portfolio.

or graphic files larger than 10 megabytes.

Edit and Delete Job Search
Documents
Edit Documents
Changes will be automatically updated in any resume, cover letter
or other document submitted previously to an employer through the BruinView™
system. If an employer already has screened your original document, there is
no guarantee your revision will be noticed. Take a minute before you click “submit”
to be sure you are satisfied with your attachments. Once a document has been
submitted to an employer, it cannot be withdrawn. Think of this as dropping
off a letter at the post office or sending a fax.
- Go to My Job Search Documents on your BruinView™ Desktop
- Click on My Resumes, My Cover Letter or Other Documents.
- Select "Click to update" option. This will take you to "locate
your resume (or other document) on your computer."
- Edit your document in Word, PDF or other program. Save on your computer,
using the same title.
- Click on Upload.
Delete Documents
Even if you delete a document from BruinView™ storage,
it will still be visible to any employer who previously received your application
materials.
